How the Drummer Is Educated.

There is legend to the effect that the
agents are made to practice their elo-
quence upon wooden dummy set up for
the purpose in the back offices OF the
agencies. They imagine the figure before
them to be that of the most unimpressible
of their customers, and harangue with
the vehemence of an Antony and the
pertinacity of Demosthenes After they
have worked themselves into such fine
frenzy that the perspiration rolls down
their faces and their voice rasps like q
saw on the nail, they are considered eff
cient and are sent out on a commission to
invade the homes of America with their

Suffering. Womanhood.

Too much effort can not be made to bring
to the attention Of suffering womanhood the
great value Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta-
be Compound as a remedy for the diseases
of women. Such an one is the wife Of Gen
eral Barringer, of Winston, n. c., and we
quote from the Generals letter as follows:
"Dear Mrs. Pinlzha1n: Please allow me to
add my testimony to the most excellent
medicinal qualities Of your Vegetable Com
pound. Mrs. Barringcr was treated for
several years for what the physician called
Leucorrh@a and Prolapsus Uteri com
bined. [ sent her to Richmond, Va, where
she remained for six months under the
treatment of an eminent Physician without
any permanent benefit. She was induced
to try your medicine and after a reasonable
time commenced to improve and is now
able to attend to her business and consid-
ers herself fully relie0ed." General Barrin
ger is the proprietor of the American Ho-
tel, Winston, N. c., and is widely known

Shaved with Pumice Stone.

ever hear of man shaving himself
with pumice stonef' asked an Ogden
avenue barber of a Chicago Herald re-
porter. There is a carpenter over here on
Jane street who has not touched his skin
with q razor for six months, yet his face is
always as smooth as u woman's. Three
times a week he sits down upon the bench
in his shop, and with a piece of pumice
stone held tightly between his index finger
and thumb, he will slowly rasp the stubble
off his chin and chops. He says he can
shave himself in this manner in half the
time it would require him with a razor.
Talk about there being any money in a
barber shop! It's all bosh. 1t won't be
long before men viii be shaving them
selves with spOnges. and cutting their hair
with an egg. beater.N

The GARFIELD FAMILY.
"A uiinpse at the Handsome Home at
| Mentor and Its Occupants.

"A glimpse at the Handsome Home al
Mentor and Its Occupants.
In i've years there have been many
notable changes in the Garfield family.
There have been no deaths, but the
! children of whom the father was SO
! 1ond have grown up. The two Older
boys have begun course in the Co.
lunbla College Law School, and Harry,
the elder, has been teaching in some
Eastern school. Both are graduates OF
Williams College. James R. Garfield
; has been studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland, and is looked
upon by friends of his father as the
son most like him in every way.
He has his fathers size, complexion,
! eyes and manner. Both sons are now
men, and have, it is said, great am
bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter,
! IS now young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her
studies. The two younger sons,
Abram and Irwin-the latter named
for General Irwin McDowell-are old
enough to enter a school on the Hud-
son, and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education Of
Abram and Irwin In the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had no
further desire to live in a city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland
sold and has decided to make her
future home in Mentor. She has here
added to the modest frame house of
her husband a Queen anne structure
which cost $4,000. 1t is the most i'm
posing home In the country, although
the new part is behind and wholly SUBJ
servient to the old house in which the
President lived. This still remains the
head and front of the Garfield home,
although remsdeled to conform with
the addition. A $4,000 addition to a
IS, 900 house is curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the
past and its illustriOus dead inspired
it. There are probably sixty rooms in
both new and old houses. They re
all furnished in modern style and with
considerable elegance, and there is an
air of aristocracy about the interior
which Garfield did not know in his own
home. Although the house is far in
the country it has all the conveniences
of Il city home-in plumbing, gas-fit-
ting and steam-heating.
A natural gas well has been bored on
the farm, and the yard is kept lighted
day and night. The main entrance is
through the old house. In the hall
facing the door is "Grandma' Gar
fields old wall-sweep clock, which her
husband brought home just sixty years
ago. 1t is still the standard time of
that house, and keeps on ticking just
as it did when the President was born.
70 the left is the smoking room, which
is lounging room for the family,
James being their only one who
smokes. To the right is the old parlor,
now a reception room, and rich III relics
IF the dead. 1t was once his study.
Bibles and other books are upon the
tables, and the furniture is much the
the same as when the family left for
IVashin etOn .-LddteS' World.

american Harvesting Machinery In Aus
tralia.

Australian papers just received announce
he award of the National Gold Medal to
AULTNAN, MILLER q Co., of Akron, O., for
their Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder,
IS the result of the National field trial held
II December last. The following, cut from
he Melbourne Argus of December Is, 1886,
living particulars of the contest, will be of
interest. The 4rgttS says:
The field trial OF reapers and binders in
connection with the National Show at
Shepparton was held on Tuesday, the 18th
inst, on Mr.. Guthrie's farm, about two
miles from Shepparton. Owing to the
pressure of harvest work, crops in all d.
reCtionS being ripe, the attendance of farm
ars did not exceed $50, but great interest
was taken IN the proceedings. As at the
late show, the judges placed the Hornsby
machine first, NJ Cormick second and the
Woods third; the "Buckeye' representa-
tive disiihed being left out in the cold, and
demanded field trial as provided by the
rules, the AZ COrmick also sharing in the
protests; so the prizes were held over pend
ing the field trial The crop was ripe
wheat, and the land was so rough that
none of the machines could show very low
cutting, and the jOlting over the hard clodS
was tolerably severe on horses, ma hineS
and drivers. Two o'clock was the hour fixed
fer the trial, but as the Buckeye was the
only machine then ready, a delay was
caused by the Hornsby and Mccormick
experts giving their machines pre-
liminary run in the adjoining block of crop,
and start was not made until quarter
past three. The five judges gave great at
tention to their duties, and were ably sec
onded by the subcommittee, appointed by
the society and the secretary, Mr.. Harold
B. Turnkey. About two acres were allotted
to each machine, and they finished In
the following order: Buckeye" 1 hour 10
minutes; Hornsby, l hour 10 minutes;
Mccormick, hour 20 minutes The two
latter machines We're drawn by three
horses each, while two lighter horses
worked the buckeye" binder with equal
ease The decision of the judges was based
on the following scale of points:
